To all whomiz't may concern:

Be it knoWnthat-I; ALrRroJ: REEDY, a

citizen of. the. United States, residing at Battle. Creek; county of Galhoun, Stateiof.

5; Michigan, have. invented certain. new and useful Improvements; in Ovens, of; which. the: following is a specification.v

Thisrinventioncrelates to improvements in ovens.

'liemain. object of; this invention is. to provide. improved; oven... for. gas stoves, and the lilrein wrhi ch the parts r are economical .in :structure. and may be. very; readily as.- se nbledwith a minimum of. bolts, and one which ,iswery attractive; and finishedlinap pearancer Eurthe'r. objects, and objectspertaining.to structural. details will definitely appear. from the.- detailed; desoriptionto follow.

Ii accomplish theo'bjects't of my invention y.-. the. de ices; and-1. means described: in the. following specificatiom The. invention. is lea ly; defined and; pointed: out: in the. claims.

The side Walls? andback 8 are preferably formed inuonepiece, the side wallshaving out-turnedseam members 9 at their forwardv edges which are engaged with the seam mem-' bers dot the fronti'rame by alongitudinal telescoping movement. The. side walls,.7 are pro-videdr. with. out-turned: seam, flanges. 11; attheir upper edges, whilethe toplQhas co-acting down-turned. flanges 13 r at its-side. edges which are, engageable with the flanges 11; by. a longitudinal telescoping movement. ofr'the -;t0p, thefront; edge of the top. lying under theouter armsiof the frame top. .mem: ber: asfshown inFig. III,

The, top is provided. with a, downeturnedflange 14: at its rear, edgev which overlaps. therear wall 8 andis securedzthereto by. the bolts. 15;, An angled supporting stripe20 is secured to the top v. memberpof the; front framerto support the front; edge of thetop 12; Thisstrip issupported by, the bolts21. The keeper 22 of-thedoor 23 is, also secured byone ofvthesebolts Thelparts, are further. secured; thereto by. the. coacting. pairsv of outer and inner cornerironsiltiz and 17, the irons 6 being. arranged over. the upper. cor.-v ners, of the frame. and; constituting. orna mental members, while the ironslTarearranged Within the frame. and 5 thecorners. clamp the. walls 7 and; 12,; the screws. 18. clamping the parts; together,

The 1inings,19;are secured to the inner, arms of: the frame. members Wlith the parts thus. formed and arranged, they; arevery rapidly assembled, and;the. structure when assembled is strong and attractive in appearance.

Having thus described r my innention what, I claim as new; andrdesiro. to ,-.se.cu1 -e.by Le tersBatent; is:

1; Inanoven, the combination of a. front, frame of channel cross, section; comprising top amt-side mei'nbors, the. outer arm ofltlle frame being. turned; inwardly upon. itself; providing aseam;member. integral. side and rea-nwallg, the de, walls havi 11g outrtml cdl seam members; at their forward. edges .enr gageable, with said seam, members of said fran ie,- by :1 longitudinal; telescoping. move ment; said side; walls-having Olltrtlll'l fld' seam. members on their; upper. edges a, top having. down tnrned seam members,,-on= itsside edges. engageable with said, seamfmembersat the, top of; said side walls with a longitudinal top being engaged under the outer arm of the frame top member, said top having a down-turned flange at its rear edge overlapping and secured to the rear wall, coacting pairs of inner and outer corner irons for the top corners of said frame, clamping screws for said corner irons whereby the inner corner irons are clamped upon the top and side walls, and inner walls supported by themher arms of said frame.

2. In an oven, the combination of a front frame of channel cross section comprisingtop and side members, the outer arm of the frame being turned inwardly upon itself providing a seam member, integral side and rear walls, the side walls having out-turned seam members at their forward edges engageable with said seam members of said frame by a longitudinal telescoping movement, said side walls having outturned seam members on their upper edges, a top having down-turned seam members on its side edges engageable with said seam members at the top of said side walls-with a longitudinal telescoping movement, the front edge of'said top being engaged under the outer arm of the frame top member, and inner walls supported by the inner arms of said frame.

3.'In an oven, the combination of a front frame of channel cross section comprising integral top and side members having a 1011- gitudinal bead struck outwardly therefrom, the outer arm of the frame being turned inwardly upon itself providing a seam mem ber, integral side and rear walls, the side walls having out-turned seam members at their forward edges engageable with said seam members of said frame by a longitudinal telescoping movement, said side walls having out-turned seam members on their upper edges, a top having down-turned seam members on its side edges engageable with said seam members at the top of said side walls with a longitudinal telescoping movement, the front edge of said stop being engaged under the outer arm of the frame top member, and inner walls supported by the inner arms of said frame.

4.

5. In an oven, the combination of a front frame of channel cross section con'iprising top and side members, the outer arm of the frame being turned inwardly upon itself providing a seam member, side walls, the side walls having out-turned seam members at their forward edges engaged with said seam members of said frame, said side walls having out-turned seam members on their upper edges, a top having downturned seam members on its side edges engaged with said seam members in the top of said side walls, the front edge of said top being engaged under the outer arm ofthe frame top member, and inner walls supported by the inner arms of said frame.

6. In an oven, the combination of a front frame of angled cross section disposed to face inwardly and comprising top and side members, the outer arm of the frame having an in-turned seam member, walls having out-turned seam members at their forward edges engageable with said seam members of said frame by a longitudinal telescoping movement, said walls having outturned seam members on their upper edges, a top having down-turned seam members on its side edges engageable with said seam members at the top of said side walls with a longitudinal telescoping movement, the front edge of said top being engagedun'der the outer arm of the frame top member, coacting pairs of inner and outer corner irons for the top corners of said frame, and clamping screws for said corner irons whereby the inner corner irons are clamped upon the top and side walls.

7. In an oven, the combination of a front frame of angled cross section disposed to face inwardly and comprising top and side members, the outer arm of the frame having an inturned seam member, walls having out-turned seam members at their forward edges engageable with said seam members of said frame by a longitudinal telescoping movement, said walls having out-turned seam members on their upper edges, and a top having down-turned seam members on its side edges engageable with said seam members at the top of said side walls with a longitudinal telescoping movement, the front edge of said top being engaged under the outer arm of the frame lop member.

8. In an oven, the con'ibiuat-ion of a front frame of angled cross section disposed to face im'vardly, the outer arm of the frame providing a seam member, walls having out turned seam members at their forward edges engaged with said seam members of said frame, said walls having out-turned seam members on their upper edges, a top hav-' ing down-turned seam members on its side edges engaged with said seam members at the top of said side walls, coacting pairs of inner and outer corner irons for the top corners of said frame, and clamping screws for said corner irons whereby the inner corner irons are clamped upon the top and side walls.

9. In an oven, the combination of a front frame of angled cross section disposed to face inwardly and comprising top and side members, the outer arms of the frame side members providing seam members, side walls having seam members at their for Ward edges engaged in said seam members 15 of said frame, said side walls having seam members on their upper edges, and a top having seam members on its side edges engaged with said seam members at the top of said side walls, the front edge of the top being engaged with the outer arm of said frame top member.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal.
